A merger (or amalgamation) is a corporate action in which two or more companies combine into a single entity, with shareholders of the merging (transferor) company receiving shares of the surviving (transferee) company in exchange for their old shares, according to a share swap ratio. A demerger is the reverse: a company separates one or more of its businesses into a newly listed entity, with existing shareholders receiving shares in the new company in addition to (or in exchange for) a portion of their existing shares.
